These delegates are members of the Texas Intercollegiate Students A ciation which in their last convention at College Station in 1951 voted to at TWC this year. This is the biggest meeting of this type that Texas Western has ever pla host to, and in accordance, many plans were made to give the visiting stud a truly Western welcome. Purpose of the T.I.S.A. is to create better students and faculty relations to find solutions to problems facing today's student government leaders. cussion and exchange of ideas as to solutions of student government. In the spring of 1948, T.I.S.A. was organized. The University of Hou student government under Bill Bradbury's direction made an attempt at or ization but statewide response was not sought at the time. The first and founding convention of the T.I.S.A. was held April 23, 1 i at North Texas State College with Dick Barneby of North Texas presid. MARY ANN SZOKE Delegates frcm twenty-three colleges attended the initial meeting at which Executive Vice-Pres . Exec11tive-S ecretary constitution was drafted and officers were elected. At this first meeting d Texas Western Texas Western gates discussed such problems as election procedure, student government, nance, honor system, and union building support. The second convention was held at Baylor University in 1950. At this c vention delegates met to discuss problems confronting student govern leaders. Bill Hamilton of TCU introduced a motion that said "membership ' T.I.S.A. shall not be denied or abridged to any qualified college regard! of race, color, or creed." It was promptly passed by the convention. Last year the Association met at Texas A &M College. There two TWC J dents were elected to serve as officers. President of the T.I.S.A. is Frank l..J Baylor University; Hollis Reynolds, Executive Vice-President, TWC; Mary A Szoke, Exerntive - Secretary, Tlf/ C; Harold Brannon, Vice - President, Te Technological College. Other officers are: Evelyn Hargrove, Secretary, Aui College; Jack Moree, Treawrer, University of Houston; E. J. Richey, Parr mentarian, Stephen F. Austin College; and Kenneth Wiggins, Cultural Entertainment Chairman, Texas A & M College. TWC has been honored by the fact that T.I.S.A. is holding its conventi here this year. Its being here is a complete advantage to us. In order to sh T.I.S.A. that the students are behind it, all TWC students are urged to att the General Assembly. Let's all do our part in making our visitors at home giving them a warm welcome.

Pins have been swapped, second payments have been made on diamonds and the marriage bureau will never go down because of trade. Wedding bells have banged, we hope that their marriage will not do the same, for Janet McKim and Bob McDermott. This man has switched to khaki because someone asked him to .. . Mitzi Kessel and 2nd Lt. Bill Thompson went under the swords recently ... 'twas a military wedding ... Julie Ann Oden and John Hendricks are tied in one knot now ... Gerald Campbell and Bar bara Joy Crawford have promised to stay together forever and ever ... Betty Gutierrez and Bob Lawrence are Mr. and Mrs. now . . . They were wed over a year ago . . . Why the deep secret . . . ? ? Many of the boys on campus are saying goodbye to their old gangs so that they may enter into that institution called marriage. Dick Issacks and Wanda Walker are among the brave ones ... Pat Shaw and Clyde Anderson will also see if they can Jive as cheaply as one . . . Bud Roland has left the walls of the KPT so that he can keep tabs on Iris Ashton .. . No date as yet ... W. P. Kirby, one of our campus peacemakers, and Darlene Nystrom have set the date for May 31st ... The bug has even hit ole Footch Ragland and Dorothy Rans dale. The former business wheel of the El Burro, Les Turner and Pat Shay are getting rather serious ... Jimmy Angelos and Kathy Beys are rather close these days ...

Nobody can tell from one day to the next about Gloria Anderson and Jack Funk ...

Fashion is hitting the high note this spring and the latest word from Paris, New York, Dallas and of course, El Paso, the fitted jacket, full skirt and big bows on blouses are the rage ... Quilted skirts are fresh and pert looking in lo•:ely prints and stripes . . . That's another thing that is really in the spot light ... Stripes can be found on anything including petticoats ... The hats this year are their dizzyest . .. Small and petit, fitted for the poodle cut, they are found to have small what-nots and little sprouts coming out of the top ... Straw and velveteen are combined in these hats ... Velvet and velveteen, once retired to the dedar chest when spring came, are now all year round fabrics . ... The somber blues and blacks are no more ... Any color is the style ... If one can think up a color and put it into a dress, it's the style .. . Shoes, gloves and handbags are being shown in lovely pastels this year ... In this fashion column we not only cater to the women, but the men will learn what is the latest ... of course they will keep on wearing what they have had on for years, oh well ..... Plaid jackets combined with colorful trousers are found from New York to California . . . The golf links are providing the styles now .. . fancy hats with plaid bands about them are quite popular ... Shoes are canvas with rope soles, or tennis shoes with loud colors imbedded in them seem to have the men quite wild . . .

WHAT IS POETRY ' "TH ERE IS PREVALENT today, a serious misunderstanding in regard to poetry," wrote Archibald Mac Leish. No truer words were ever written. Poetry is a word which, to most of us, stands for a generalized idea of all poems ; a sum mary of all the poems we know something about and those we do not know anything about. As such it is a useful word, but it is only a word. And it is not a word which stands for any one thing that we can point to and say, "There it is ." A few people have realized this- in fact, MacLeish has pointed out that a poem must be, not mean. In other words when the word "poem" is used, it should signify the experience which the reader creates in his mind by using the words of the poet. So the purpose of poetry is not to escape life, but it is to help one rediscover the significance of life in all its various forms. And without preaching, poetry sets us face to face with life for an experience whose end is, as Robert Frost says, wisdom. Now the logical question to ask would be, "Why not just state the experiences of life in prose?" Contrary to mistaken impression, the poet is not trying to make beautiful what might be plainly stated in prose. He is expressing emotion by finding a set of objects, a situation, or a chain of events which will be the formula of that particular emotion. Then when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked. As Coleridge stated in Table Talk, "Prose- words· in their best order; poetry -the best words in their best order." So the difference between prose and po etry is profoundly a difference in the manner of thinking. Only after understanding the true meaning of the word "poem" can we begin to appreciate the great variety and richness of our poetic heritage: For as long as consciousness exists, poetry will continue to exist!

THE WORLD IS MINE The world is mine to roam where I will, God never built a fence around any hill. Among pastures ever so green, Upon God, my fate, my trust I lean.

Always a sucker for attractive bait, our aquatic brother went off the deep end and got caught on the quick-trick cigarette hook! But he wormed his way out when he suddenly realized that cigarette mildness can't be tossed off reel lightly. Millions of smokers have found, too, there's only one true test of cigarette mildness. It's the sensible test-the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why ... After all the Mildness Tests ... Camel leads all other brands /Jy /JiUion1
